PSU back charged with criminal mischief

STATE COLLEGE- A Penn State freshman running back has been charged by campus police with breaking a window in a dormitory.

Online court records don't list an attorney for 18-year-old Akeel Lynch who was charged Friday with criminal mischief for breaking the window in Shulze Hall on Nov. 16 when he allegedly kicked it.

Lynch did not immediately return a request for comment to his campus email address, and a school spokesman could not immediately say whether Lynch has already been disciplined by the team for the incident or whether he may face future discipline.

Lynch faces a preliminary hearing March 27.

Lynch did not play in any games this past season. The incident happened the night before the team's home game against Indiana.
